  • Oğuz Atay war ein türkischer Schriftsteller.
  • Oğuz Atay (1934–1977) was a pioneer of the modern novel in Turkey. His first novel, Tutunamayanlar (The Disconnected), appeared 1971-72. Never reprinted in his lifetime and controversial among critics, it has become a best-seller since a new edition came out in 1984. It has been described as “probably the most eminent novel of twentieth-century Turkish literature”: this reference is due to a UNESCO survey, which goes on: “it poses an earnest challenge to even the most skilled translator with its kaleidoscope of colloquialisms and sheer size. ” In fact one translation has so far been published, into Dutch: Het leven in stukken, translated by Hanneke van der Heijden and Margreet Dorleijn (Athenaeum-Polak & v Gennep, 2011). It appears also that a complete English translation exists, of which an excerpt won the Dryden Translation Prize in 2008: see http://www. eupjournals. com/doi/abs/10.3366/E1744185408000293, Comparative Critical Studies, vol. V (2008) 99. His book of short stories, Korkuyu Beklerken, has appeared in a French translation by Jocelyne Burkmann and Ali Terzioglu as En guettant la peur, Paris, L'Harmattan, March 2010. French Wikipaedia says this of it: "Dans ce dernier recueil, grâce à un sens aigu de l'observation et de l'humour, Atay nous dévoile un univers étrange, à travers le destin de personnages drôles et pathétiques, incontournables témoins d'un monde où le grotesque rivalise souvent avec le tragique. Imprévisibles et captivantes, ces histoires nous invitent à un voyage singulier dans la littérature turque."
  • Oğuz Atay es una de las más reconocidas figuras de la literatura de su país.
  • 'Oğuz ATAY' est un écrivain turc, pionnier du roman moderne et postmoderne en Turquie. Né à Inebolu en 1934, et mort à Istanbul en 1977, il est aujourd'hui considéré comme un auteur culte et une figure majeure de la littérature turque.
  • } È l'autore, scomparso prematuramente, del celebre romanzo Tutunamayanlar (Gli incapaci di connettersi, 1972). Quell'opera esponeva - su piani formali ed estetici ben diversi dalle impostazioni realistiche, consuete nelle lettere turche del Novecento - il disagio di individui alienati, in conflitto con se stessi e con le convenzioni sociali imperanti: anime inadatte a stabilire qualche relazione con un circolo retto da usi non condivisi, appunto. Quell'esposizione polifonica e confusa, già parodia e parafrasi dei generi più seguiti e noti -nonché punto di riferimento anche per Orhan Pamuk - seguita a generare scritture emozionali ancora nei racconti di Aspettando la paura, composti da Atay fra il 1972 e il 1977, curati e tradotti da Semsa Gezgin e Giampiero Bellingeri, raccolta pubblicata da Lunargento nel 2011.
